Half Time - Songs of the year so far....

[CaledonianGonzo]

My gut take is that 2021 is shaping up to be a classic, so hit us up with your individual jams.

Little Simz - Woman

Little Simz - Introvert 

Little Simz - I Love You, I Hate You

It is her year.

The song of the year:

 

[Chapple12345]

The Last Man on Earth - Wolf Alice without a doubt, such a beautiful song 

[found home in 2009]

I don't have kids and don't particularly want to have kids, but this Modest Mouse song about parenthood hits me right in the heart every time I listen to it:

I'm totally loving this Sleater Kinney song. Main guitar riff is so catchy, reminds me of 2 Door Cinema Club

Another great upbeat rock song:

More mellow than the previous two suggestions but really like the melody to this:

Honourable mentions also go to:
Boys and Girls by Viagra Boys - love the driving bass and screaming sax
Stay in the Car by Batchelor - reminds me of Pixies which can only be a good thing
look up - Joy Oladokun - a lot more chilled than what I normal listen too, but this whole album is great, very stripped back delicate songs

I'm not sure if it counts as it wasn't released this year, but a rerecorded version of this song was released on the album which was released this year. I prefer the original and I discovered this band this year and I've loved everything they've put out so far. I saw them on a socially distanced tour at the Brudenell in Leeds and they were fantastic, their unreleased tracks are sounding fantastic and it's my most anticipated album ever. It's definitely going to be my album of the year and this track is probably in my top ten songs of all time. It's up there with All My Friends and Wake Up for me. They were meant to be playing the Williams Green tent in 2020. Let's get them back and make them do a Fontaines D.C. and play four gigs over the weekend as I'd happily see them that many times. They've got seven members so might need to play a few to get all the tickets they want. 

Black Country, New Road - Sunglasses

Just a random few off the top of my head, I throw most tunes from this year I find in this playlist then delete stuff from it when I listen to it on shuffle, some gems in there and a fair bit of shite and half of it has been posted on the new music thread
